Polycrystalline Silicon Thin Film Transistors with Bridged-Grain Structures搭橋晶粒結構多晶硅薄膜晶體管
- Summary
- The present invention discloses a low temperature poly-Si technique employing the furnace annealing process, which can bring about high quality poly-Si films with as good performance as the high temperature poly-Si or the laser-crystallized poly-Si. Employing doped poly-Si lines in widths of hundreds of nanometers, intrinsic poly-Si is separated connected by the doped parallel lines in widths of half of the average grain size, which we called it bridged-grain structure (BG). Using this BG poly-Si as an active layer and making sure the TFT is designed so that the current flows perpendicularly to the parallel lines of grains, the grain boundary effect can be obviously reduced. The experimental data show that the reliability and the electrical performance of the proposed poly-Si TFT are significantly improved compared with the conventional low temperature poly-Si TFT.
